The first thing that’s notable about the RTX 5090 is the packaging design has totally changed since the Founders Edition RTX 40-series. Nvidia has switched to housing the RTX 5090 inside a smaller bone-shaped gray cardboard shell that sits inside a much larger brown cardboard box.

The new NVIDIA Geforce RTX 5090 FE GPU features the same shape as its RTX 4090 FE predecessor but measures just half its width.

The new GeForce RTX 5090 is the top of the line and the star of the show (so much so that it actually leaked just hours before it was officially unveiled), but Nvidia is actually launching four new 50-series GPUs at CES 2025, with the desktop models starting to ship this month and laptop versions arriving in March.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 will cost $1,999 and looks ready to commence its reign as the fastest consumer graphics card around when it becomes available. Nvidia is touting performance improvement of up to 2X over its RTX 4090 predecessor,

The new NVIDIA RTX 5000 series of cards have just been unveiled, but how do the card's hardware and cost stack up with one another?

Not only does the VRAM jump up from 24GB to 32GB in the RTX 5090, but it gets a lot faster too with GDDR7 memory. You’re getting both more of it and a faster speed at 32 Gbps.

A rumor suggests the Nvidia RTX 50 series of graphics cards could be in extremely limited supply at launch as the release dates near.
